Vette returns to the Northeast

[unigriff]

i heard from some friends on the basketball team in waverly that Clayton will be enrolling at Wartburg and playing ball. Just hearsay...anyone else hear that or know anything?

That's definitely the most prevalent rumor around Ames. He seems like a good kid. I wish him well.

Re: Vette returns to the Northeast

At WSR he was a big fish in a relatively small pond. Nothing against Iowa basketball, as we have turned out many big stars, but in the Big XII, he may have been frustrated with the increased talent level. If he actually does enroll at Wartburg, he would, once again, be a big fish in a small pond.

Watching him play last year, I remember thinking to myself how UNI would be a good fit for him. Wherever Clayton ends up, I wish him well.

***RUMOR***

I have heard that he had some severe separation anxiety when he left home and couldn't take being away from his parents for more that 2 or 3 days at a time.

I really think it will be best for him to go to Wartburg. Everything will be back to normal for him. In situations like this you have to do what's best for Clayton Vette, the 18 year old kid, not Clayton Vette, the basketball recruit...

Re: Vette returns to the Northeast

its probably hard for the rest of us to understand but the transition to a big school can be really tough for some kids.

Yeah, it's true, especially going to a metropolis like Ames that's several time-zones away from Waverly.

come on now, for once im not going to jump on 9yr...and i actually agree with him...its gotta be a tough transition no matter where you are and what you are doing. Especially to leave somewhere from something you love (or used to love..see Megan Keefe) doing.

Re: Vette returns to the Northeast

I went from a town of 600, a school of 112 (9-12) and a graduating class of 40 that is 4. hours from CF to Cedar Falls quite easily. Infact I don't like going home much. I guess it is just a personal thing for him which is fine. He won't be playing the second semester however. That is from my source who talked to the Wartburg coach

Re: Vette returns to the Northeast

i went from a class of 59 to iowa city, but i know several people who just didnt make the transition to a big school well. the location can have little to do with it.

My source, who graduated with him, is telling me the same thing.

Lost year of eligibility.

Re: Vette returns to the Northeast

So...eligibility experts...does he lose a year of eligibility for playing in a handful of games for ISU this season...or can he consider it a "redshirt" year.

I think he would lose this year.

Re: Vette returns to the Northeast

Depends on if he can get a medical redshirt. If he can't then he lost a year. I don't think he is as concerned with any of this as we are.
